What do you love about Ole women?
“Their down to earth nature and their intellect. Some of the most intelligent, articulate and resourceful people that I have met are Ole women.”

Hobbies?
“Running, playing sports, biking, canoeing, the outdoors in general; I am also an avid reader who particularly enjoys works of history and fiction.”

Activities you are involved in?
“Cross Country, Track, Saint Paul’s Outreach and I used to wrestle here, too.”

Call or text?
“Most of the time I prefer texting because it is easier and you can multitask, though it is quite nice to hear a real voice. Face to face contact trumps all in my opinion.”

What is the most romantic thing you have done for a girl?
“When I was a senior in high school, I wrote a message outside my school in big multicolored chalk letters to my prom date saying, ‘You would color my world if we went to prom!’”

What is your favorite place to study?
“The Cage if I don’t really have to get that much done. If I have a lot to do, 2nd floor of the library, or Regents, or the math building. I like to bounce around.”

Favorite food?
“Flapjacks and pasta”

Favorite movie?
“Gladiator.”

Any secret or hidden talents?
“I have a foolproof memory. I can remember just about any random fact or date that I hear in passing. Also, I make really good pancakes and can play the trumpet pretty well.”

Finish this sentence: A girl looks her best when…
“She is at ease or however she feels the most comfortable.”

Describe yourself in one word.
“Smashing.”

What are you most excited about right now in your life?
“I’m really excited to be a senior next year. It’s going to be a blast!”

Pet peeves?
“My biggest pet peeve is probably when people walk really slowly and take up the entire sidewalk when I’m in a hurry.”

What is your ideal date?
“Casual dinner at a nice restaurant with good conversation followed by a night time walk around a scenic area.”

What he wants Ole women to know:
“I would like Ole women to know that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend Trident ® sugar free gum, since it reduces cavities. On a more serious note, don’t be shy or intimidated about meeting new guys. There are a lot of fantastic Ole guys who would love to get to know you if you would allow them the privilege…especially on the cross country and wrestling teams.”

Best pick up line?
“I’m not big on cheesy pick up lines, but if the situation deemed it necessary, I would walk up with a broom and say something about coming in to “sweep them off of their feet’.”

If you were a superhero, what would your superhero name and power be?
“I would be the perfect composite of superhuman strength, speed, and intelligence, and my name would be ‘Hrothgar’.”
